Kuta, Bali, Indonesia
The Balinese have an odd relationship with their monkeys.
On the one side, they are considered sacred (and therefore protected and allowed to live where they want) for their ability to ward off evil spirits from the temples they inhabit.
…and that’s good. Because those temples are pretty amazing
On the other hand, they raid rice paddies for food and snatch the tourists’ purses, wallets – pretty much anything they can get their hands on.
…which is kinda bad.
